Since finishing up the bootcamp, I really dove headfirst into all the data that Breaking Ground has. I feel like during the bootcamp, I got a better vision of how we wanted to use the information we collect and also thinking about other information we hope to collect in the future.
My biggest accomplishment has been creating a very detailed inventory of all the data that we have, and using all that information to develop a strategy about how we want to store our information. That kind of structured thinking — understanding what data you have, what you need, and how to organize it — is exactly what the bootcamp helped me build.
The experience also had a ripple effect on my team. I've been able to bring some of the excitement back and think a little bigger about the possibilities of using our data. When you return from an immersive learning experience with new tools and a clearer vision, that energy is contagious — and that's what Data Science Dojo gave me to bring back to Breaking Ground.
